Digital SLR's

If you're looking for a more professional look and feel to your photos why not take the leap in to Digital SLR's.  If you will be using your camera for professional graphics work or are looking to sell your photos or if you're just passionate about photography you will be better off with a SLR.

For this part we are concentrating on Canon.  Although their are other manufacturers available we like Canon (personal preference).  We've split the SLR's into 3 categories Entry Level, Mid Range and High End.

Canon SLR's are compatible with more than 60 Canon EF lenses, including Canon's EF-S lenses so you can take photos for any purpose from Macro lenses for wonderful shots of insects and plants to Telephoto lenses to take that elusive long shot.  (For all you budding Paparazzi).
